Business and Religion.

A wealthy, irreligious, shrewd busi-
ness man in Illinois, was approached
by member of the Church of Christ
for subscription towards building n
meeting house. He cheerfully put
down his name for 5000, and then re-
marked, II give that as good busi-
ness investment. I would rather give
5000 every year than not to have the
gospel preached in this community"
"How is that?" he was asked.
"You do not pay any heed to the gos-
pei. Why are you interested in hav-
ing it preachedw w "Oh," he replied,
II live here with my family, and my
property is around here; without the
influences of Christianity the condi-
ton of society would become such
that neither property nor life would be
safe. T would not be willing to live in
any community where the gospel was
not preachedw
These views of q hard-headed man
of the world are confirmed hy all ex-
periences. Christianity is the salt of
the earth. Only the utterly abandon
ed would be content to live where its
influence had ceased to be felt.

We are glad to see that the editorial
conscience has not been utterly stupetied
by the benumbing pressure of the aug
menting cash account, but that it is occa'
sionally asserting itself, as it has recent
ly done i'm the office Of the Gtobc-Repu6,
lie, of Springfield, Ohio. It's editor has
suspended its Sunday paper at time
when, he says, it is paying better thar
ever, and is the most profitable issue, o.
the week. He boldly says however, that
if it were paying a dozen times as we'll ii
would be suspended, for these cOnvinc.
ing reasons, which we wish the editors ol
other Sunday papers had the candor tc
admit and tho courage to follows:
"Thc owners Of the paper have had
both experience and observation as 10 the
publication Of newspaper on Sunday
and they are thoroughly convinced that
IL is neither morally nor physically right
for them to continue the issue of such a
paper. Our experience, as well as the
gentlemen employed by us, proves that a
day of mental and physical rest IS requir-
en- by them each week, and that such 4
day of rest is an absolute necessity; that
six days week of solid work is as much
as any person connected with the RepnG-
Tic can endure. We, and those connect
cd with us, have tested the matter
thoroughly, and we speak advisely, and
we think VIC may say-authoritatively
1t is our conviction, also. that Sunday
should bc observed rs a day of worship
as we'll as rest, and we propose to put
neither obstacle nor annoyance i'll the
way Of those who wish so to observe 1t.

The Last Hymn.

The Sabbath day was ending,
In village by the sea,
The uttered bcnediction
Touched the people tenderly,
And they rose TO face the sunset
In the glowing, tighten west,
And they FASTENED to their dwellings,
For Gods blessed boon OF rest
But they looked across the waters,
And storm was raging there;
A fierce spirit moved above them,
The wild spirit OF the air.
And it lashed and shook and tore them,
Till they thundered, groaned, ana DooHleu
And alas for any vessel
In their yawning CULTS entombed.
Very anxious were the people
On that rocky coast OF Wales
Lest the dawn Of coming mnrrows
Should be telling awful tales,
When the sea had spent it's passion
And should cast upon the shore
Bits of wreck and swollen victims,
AS IL had done heretofore.
With the rough winds blowing round her,
A brave woman strained her eyes,
And she saw along the billows
A large vessel fall and rise.
Oh 1t did not need prophet
To tell what tn end must be,
For no ship could ride In safety
Near the shore on such sea.
Then plying people hurried
From their homes and thronged the beach
Tn power 10 CrOSS lue Wulel
And the perishing to reach.
Helpless hands were wrung for sorrow,
Tender hands grew cold with dread,
And the ship, urged by the tempest,
To the fatal rock shore sped.
"She has parted in the middle!
Oh! the half of her goes down!
God have mercy! Oh is Heaven -,
Far to seek for those who drown?"
Lo! when next the white, shocked faces
Looked with terror on the sea,
Only one last clingins figure
On the spur was seen to be.
And near the trembling watchers
Came the wreck, tossed by the wave;
And the man still clung and floated,
Though no power on earth could save.
"Could we send him short mesSage?"
Here's a trumpet. Shout away!
Twas the preachers hand that took it,
And he wondered what to say.
Any memory of his sermon
Firstly, secondly? Ah! no!
There was but one thing 10 utter
In the awful hour of woe.
So he shouted through the trumpet:
"Look to Jesus! Can you hear?'
And SAY, ay, sirr rang the answer
Ger the waters, loud and clear.
Then they listened. He is singing
"Jesus, lover Of my sonl!
And the winds brought back the echo,
"While the nearer waters roll
Strange, indeed, 1t was to hear him,
"TilI the storm Of life was past"
Singing bravely from the waters,
"Oh receive my soul at last!
He could have no other refuge,
"Hangs my helpless soul on Thee
Leave, ah leave me not"-The singer
Dropped at last into the sea;
And the watchers, looked homeward
Through their eyes, with tears made dim
Said: HE passed to be with Jesus
In the singing of that hymn"

Wat Others Say.
rSnShyjYe lGpOcGtP.1

The Pope continues to intormeddle
with German politics, and the fact gives
us occasion to remind our readers oi
what they already know. but which in
America we are constantly inclined to
forget-the Roman Catholic Church is
not on the same basis as other denomina-
tions, and cannot rightfully except the
same toleration. 1t claims temporal
power which cannot be allowed for ono
moment. The policy of Rome as to this
country is to control city governments
and through the cities to control the resi-
of the country. Eternal vigilance is thf
price of our liberty i'll tho presence of such
a willy foe.

There are two opposite extremes
both of which tend to prevent this
sympathy. One is the prevailing faul
of q past regime, which only required
Of this relation absolute authority on
the one hand and absolute submission
on the other. The training which the
parent was expected to give was sim
ply a training to obedience, to se]f-re.
straint, to silence and humility, and
by no means included any education
of the feelings or development of the
affections. 1t was even considered a
duty to restrain the expression of nat
ural love, lest it break down the bar
riers of parental authority and tend to
diminish respect. The consequence o.
this tone IN the family was to promote
the sentiments of awe, reverence, and
fear, but at the same time to foster q
secret antagOnism in the young to-
wards those who were frequently
lhwarting and furnishing them.
Much Of this has passed away, un-
der the Influence Of the spirit of free
dom, which, spreading so rapidly, has
not failed to penetrate into every
home. There are still, however, u few
conscientious but misguided parents
who err in this direction, and stir up
feelings of cnmity where love and con-
iidence should reign; but the spirit OF
the times has driftcd us into an oppo-
site extreme, equally unfavorable to
true parental friendship. The desire
to impose no unnatural restraint, and
to grant all possible liberty, has had
full sway, and the result has been, in
many cases, not knitting together,
but virtual separation, to a great en-
tent, between parent and child. Non
interference has frequently lapsed in.
to neglect, and the inexperienced
child, suffered to pursue his own path,
without restraint, and almost without
advice, has gradually drifted away
from the protecting love and directing
influence of the parent.

The Sweetest Grace.

OF all the graces Of the spirit, love
holds the priority. This is the firs'
thing in religion that young converts
should cultivate. 1t is to be manifest,
ed all through the Christian life. LII
its perfection it is the highest mark ol
maturity. 1t is to abide with us III
Heaven through all eternity, constitut-
ing one Of the chief elements OF the
bliss of Heaven. For the exercise OF
love produces happiness both III the
subject and in the object.
Paul makes so much of love that ne
frequently tells us it is the sum ant'
substance of religion. 1t is the fulfill
ing of the law. 1t is better than
knowledge and faith and zeal. 1T is to
be preferred before any ardent fidelity
that would carry us into bigotry, CEN
seriousness and spiritual pride.
Though man, had zeal enough FOL
religion to die martyr at the stake
though he had faith enough to move a
mountain; though he gave a tenth OF
his income or even all of it to the Varl:
Gus benevolent causes, yet II ne mao
not love, the charity that sufteretll
long and is kind-he would still he q
stranger to that essential Christian
character without which no man shall
see the Lord.
We have so many occasions and op'
portunities in which to develop this
grace, it is an everyday virtue. NOT
an hou. passes but will bringa chance
to cultivate this heavenly grace OF
love.
We are constantly being called up
on to exercise love in at least some
one of its many forms. .
Love suffereth long, and we will
find much to call out our patience.
We must be patient with the faults
and follies of friends and foes. Love
is kind; not day will pass without
need of showing Kindness to some one.
Love envieth not; vaunteth not itself
doth not behave itself unseemly; seek
eth not her own thinketh no evil
beareth all things.
How often do we find occasions to
display this many-sided grace! Con-
cerning some of the great truths OF
Revelation we know in part. There
are mysteries we cannot fathom.
There are questions that battle us.
Concerning them with Paul we can
only say. 1--WE know in part" But
the exercise of love is duty easy to
be comprehended. 1t is so simple, so
plain, so Ineligible. Here is sure
footing.
We know this much, that we must
be patient, kind, charitable, hopeful.
We will thus begin to do that which
is so plain and wait till we get to Hea-
ven to find solution Of the mysteries.
But the very exercise of love prepares
the soul to know divine things: lie
that loveth is born Of God and knoa0-
eth God.
Love thus constitutes an organ of
knowledge. The soul that exercises
the love described in ! Cor. xiii. car
ries about with him the consciousness
that he dwells in God and God in him.
Let us humbly and trustingly mani
fest this love. 1t will cast out all fear.
The Heaven of Heaven is love.

BOSTON, Mas, July 1a.-9Ths Newport,
r. T., correspondent Of The Advertiser
gives the details Of a very pretty romance,
che hero OF which is Robert w. Wilcox,
the son OF Nv. s. wilcox, OF Newport. and
an italian lady OF distinction and related
to royalty. The yong mar who was
born in Honolulu, and grew in favor with
the authorities, and when the present
ruler of the Cannibal Islands mounted
his new and somewhat rickety throne he
was especially attracted to the young mar
and determined to give him a military
education. OF course Kaiakaua couldn't
get this for the lad In Honolulu, and OF
course the military academy of the United
States waH not tony enough and so he
came to the conclusion that 1t must be to
q European country that the young man
should go. To Italy he was sent, and he
now thanks his lucky stars that The fates
ruled that it should be SO ordered. He
was q thorough student and apt scholar,
and he proved himself as able to storm
the fortress surrounding a fair and noble
ysuug girls heart AS to expatiate upon
the most modern achievements of mill
tary science. An Italian paper received
reports Of he marriage ceremony Of young
Wilcox and signorina Louisa Saberero,
OF Turin, who is Donna Victoria, of the
princely house of Coiona. Kalukaua. In
sign Of his pleasure, sent his aajntant,
Col. j.. H. Boyd, to represent him at the
nnptial ceremony, taking splendid gifts
to the bride from the king.

Hahn, who has been employed as a
waiter In a r~estaurantat Nc. 571 Walnut
streeG, left for his. home in lama county,
Iowa, and his arrival there will most eff
fectually clear up mystery that has
been the sensation in that county for the
last few months. Hahn left home sud-
denly and quietly, and it was thought he
had been murdered. Suspicion pointed
to Thomas Hohun as the perpetrator of
the crime. as he had been heard to
threaten Hahn on account of remarks
made by the latter rejecting upon the
character of the formers wife. Twice
did the grand jury investigate the case,
II twice did Hohun escape from mobs
with the greatest difficulty. Another
German. a neighbor Of Hahn, was sus
pected of POSSESSING information con
corning the case n was strung up t5 a
